Nine Steps to Financial Freedom: Practical & Spiritual Steps So You Can Stop Worrying
When Suze Orman was 13 she watched her father dive into the flames of his burning take-out chicken restaurant to rescue his cash register. In that moment, Orman learned that money was more important than life itself. From then on it was her quest to be rich. But years later, when she became a wealthy broker with a large investment firm, she was perplexingly unhappy.
What went wrong? She had not yet achieved financial freedom. In her nine-step program, Orman covers the ingredients to financial success – confronting our beliefs and fears, learning the nuts and bolts (and insider’s secrets!) of savvy management, and finding the spiritual trust that leads to abundance.
